Pegeia is surrounded by the sea and so is naturally known for
its fabulous beaches.
Coral Bay
The well-known beach of Coral Bay is the
jewel in Pegeia’s crown. This beach is considered to be the best
in the province of Paphos. The fact that it is positioned in
this particular cape is fortunate; the waters are always calm
and this allows for safe, danger-free swimming. This is probably
the reason why around 2000 bathers, locals and visitors choose
Coral Bay for their summer holiday.
It’s worth noting that the beach at Coral Bay has until now
been awarded the Blue Flag nine times. This means that it meets
the standards for swimming waters, coastline cleanliness,
hygiene areas, safety of bathers, information and environmental
education. The beach has two café huts, which also have locker
rooms with showers as well as disabled toilets. There are two
beach volley courts for sports enthusiasts, while there are also
various water sports such as jet skiing, pedalos etc. Swimmers
can also make use of the umbrellas and sunbeds and relax under
the watchful eye of the experienced lifeguards. In recent years,
the Coral Bay area has been hugely developed. There are now
tavernas, bars and other recreational areas, as well as hotels
that were built with a view to respecting the environment.
Lara Beach
This beach is perfect for those looking for a relaxing, peaceful
environment. It is mainly favoured by families and welcomes
around 1000 bathers during the summer months. Thanks to its
uniqueness, it was awarded with the Blue Flag 10 times
consecutively. The beach has umbrellas, sunbeds and lifeguards,
as well as all relevant additional services.
Other Beaches
Other beaches that can be found in the Pegeia area are the
one in Keratidi, the beach in the
Maniki area, one in the Sea Caves
and one in Agios Georgios of Pegeia, near
the fishing port. Furthermore, along Pegeia’s coastal
frontline there are beaches and little bays that are
impressively, unusually beautiful and attract those who love
peaceful beaches.
Sea Caves – Kantarkasti
The fabulous view of the shore’s geological morphations is
probably the only one of its kind in Cyprus. Deep caves on land
– ripped open by the insatiable waves of the sea – small islets
and rocks characterize the scenery. It was in these caves that
seals would escape and breed, which is why the area is known as
that of the Seal Caves.
Cycle lane
There is a cycle lane in Pegeia that links the Coral Bay area
with Agios Georgios, and goes along Agios Georgios avenue. It
gives not only sports enthusiasts, but also sightseers the
chance to take in the beautiful greenery on their journey.
